The 1994-1995 Ford Mustang GT and GTS represent the final chapter of the legendary 5.0L pushrod V8 in the Mustang lineup. While these SN95 cars brought a fresh body and improved chassis rigidity, the factory air intake system remained a significant bottleneck — a restrictive, multi-chamber plastic airbox paired with a narrow, noise-tuned intake tract designed for cabin quietness rather than engine breathing. On a stock 5.0L rated at 215 hp from the factory, that restriction translates directly to lost throttle response and untapped torque.

The FLASHARK Cold Air Intake Kit replaces the entire factory airbox and intake tract with a 3.5-inch mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum intake tube and a high-flow dry cotton gauze air filter. By relocating the filter element away from the engine block and shielding it with a black powder-coated steel heat shield, the kit draws cooler, denser air from the fender well area — not the heat-soaked engine bay. The result is a measurable improvement in air velocity and volumetric efficiency across the 5.0L's powerband.

On a near-stock 1994-1995 Mustang GT or GTS, this intake delivers dyno-verified gains of 10-15 horsepower and 12-18 lb-ft of torque without requiring an ECU reflash. The factory MAF sensor, PCV plumbing, and intake air temperature sensor all integrate directly with the included couplers and mounting provisions — no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required. Installation takes 45-60 minutes with basic hand tools in a home garage, making this one of the highest-value bolt-on upgrades available for the SN95 5.0L platform.

Beyond the numbers, the transformation is immediately audible: the deep, aggressive intake growl under wide-open throttle unleashes the character of the 5.0L that Ford's factory silencers spent years trying to hide. Whether your Mustang is a clean weekend cruiser, a stoplight-to-stoplight street car, or an entry-level track day build, this intake kit is the logical first step in uncorking the pushrod V8's potential before moving on to exhaust, throttle body, or intake manifold upgrades.

Key Features

3.5" Mandrel-Bent 6061 Aluminum Intake Tube — Precision CNC mandrel-bent from 6061 aluminum with a black powder-coated finish for heat resistance and corrosion protection. The larger internal diameter and smooth-radius bends eliminate turbulence and restrictions in the factory plastic intake tract, improving airflow velocity across all RPMs.

High-Flow Dry Cotton Gauze Air Filter — Multi-layer cotton gauze filter media delivers superior filtration without the mess and MAF contamination risk of oiled filters. Fully washable and reusable — simply rinse, dry, and reinstall. No oil required, ever.

Black Powder-Coated Steel Heat Shield — Durable steel shield positions the filter away from the exhaust manifold and radiator heat plume. The black powder-coat finish resists corrosion and blends seamlessly with the engine bay. Seals against the hood liner on most cars, creating a true cold-air partition.

True Bolt-On Installation — Uses all factory mounting points, MAF sensor location, PCV connections, and intake air temperature sensor provisions. No cutting, drilling, welding, or tuning required. Complete hardware kit included — couplers, stainless steel clamps, and mounting brackets.

Retains Factory MAF & Emissions Equipment — Designed to work with the stock 70mm MAF sensor housing, PCV breather tube, and intake air temperature sensor. ECU adaptive learning compensates automatically — no check engine light, no tune required.

Throttle Response & Induction Sound — The combination of reduced intake restriction and a larger tube volume noticeably sharpens off-idle and part-throttle response. Wide-open throttle produces a deep, aggressive induction growl that the factory airbox completely silences.
